Zhen Yan guessed Uncle Zhen's thoughts clearly, sending a maid back instead of keeping the door of Zhen's house open forever, Zhen Yan's mouth curled into a smile.
"Thank you father for being perfect, my daughter understands."
After the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she scolded Prince Chen's son bloody again and was extremely annoyed. This time, Prince Chen's son really disappointed him.
Prince Chen's son was overjoyed when he heard that he would marry Zhen Yan two months later, and even the Queen Mother was even more disappointed when he saw this.
"Your royal father will also return to Beijing to attend the wedding in two months. Give Ai's family some peace during this period, and don't make any mistakes."
This is the first time that the Queen Mother has spoken to Prince Chen in such a cold tone, and she even has a little dislike.
Prince Chen's son immediately put away the smile on his face and nodded, "Grandson understands. Thank you, Grandmother, for your success."
"Okay, step back!" Even the queen mother waved her hand, she really couldn't cheer up the son of Prince Chen, and was a little annoyed.
Prince Chen knew that Queen Mother Lian was in a fit of anger, so he didn't dare to make Queen Mother Lian angry anymore, and obediently withdrew.
Su'e stretched out her hand to rub Empress Dowager Lian's forehead, and said cautiously, "Empress Dowager is careful, the son made a big mistake because he was confused for a while. In the future, he will always understand that the Empress Dowager is painstaking."
Even the Empress Dowager frowned in displeasure, "Forget it, it's just a concubine. There are many concubines who died of illness and early death, why bother not to go with her on purpose!"
Even the queen mother could only comfort herself in this way, Su'e's eyelids twitched when she heard this, she dared not answer the words, she didn't dare to breathe.
Compared with the disharmonious atmosphere in Zhen's mansion, Xiang's mansion was full of joy and harmony. Mrs. Xiao was 100% satisfied with Rong Yue, she pulled Rong Yue to talk for a long time, and she didn't let go until it was dark.
Xiao Concubine was also happy, her father was able to untangle his heart and marry another, Xiao Concubine was happier than anyone else, she could see that Rong Yue had a simple temperament, just like a pool of clear water without so many twists and turns, and Prime Minister Right was obviously right. Rong Yue is interesting.
"What are you thinking, smiling so happily?"
Zhao Zun dragged Concubine Xiao to sit on the couch, Concubine Xiao covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Naturally, I am happy for my father's sake. Before, my grandmother was always worried that my father would have no children. Now it's all right, and I don't have to worry about anything."
Zhao Zun raised his eyebrows and sighed upon hearing this, "Hey, my father-in-law has married a daughter-in-law, I'm sorry I haven't seen him yet."
No matter how much Zhao Zun talked, the Prime Minister would not let go, and then Zhao Zun received the benefits sent by Zhao Zun as usual, without letting go at all, which really made him very distressed.
Xiao Yu raised her red lips, "What's the rush? Seeing that more than half of this year has passed, and it will be a year away, it's not too far away from this year and a half."
Zhao Zun sighed helplessly, hugged Concubine Xiao every day, and he was the only one who suffered. Being able to see or not to eat was a great torture in life.
Xiao Concubine suddenly frowned, stretched out her hand to Zhao Zun's chest, and said earnestly, "I always feel that the prince Dongchu seems to know you, and keeps staring at you. Are you offending him?"
Zhao Zun was stunned, then nodded, "Yes, I have offended quite a few people during my travels all these years, and it was nothing more than a conflict of interest. What are you afraid of? The war in Eastern Chu is urgent. He should leave Dongming soon. .”
Xiao Yu smiled, "So that's the case, no wonder he looked at you wrongly, so I really hit the spot, but fortunately I didn't recognize it, otherwise it would be a big trouble."
"Don't be afraid, my father-in-law is right minister, he dare not do anything."
Zhao Zun looked arrogant, but in fact he knew in his heart that the Prime Minister would not help him solve the mess.
Concubine Xiao burst out laughing, and scolded him for having thick skin, but Zhao Zun didn't mind, as she had already learned to be cheeky.
"By the way, will the emperor lend troops to Dong Chu?"
Xiao Yu was a little curious, her memory only existed here, and she didn't know what happened during this time in her previous life. In her previous life, she had long been isolated from the world, and she couldn't hear any news.
Zhao Zun narrowed his eyes, "You should ask your father-in-law about this. If your father-in-law doesn't let go, the emperor dare not borrow it. If the queen mother takes the opportunity to make trouble, the emperor will not be worth the loss."
Xiao Yu nodded, "The emperor actually wants to borrow troops, right? Dongchu must have promised the emperor benefits. If the emperor uses it properly, he may get rid of the three-legged situation. How can such a good opportunity be missed?"
Zhao Zunwen lowered his head and kissed the corner of Xiao Concubine's mouth, and praised unceremoniously, "You're so smart, you can't hide anything from your eyes. Father-in-law is just playing a game of chess with the emperor. It's not certain who will win and who will lose, so don't be blind." I'm worried."
"But if one of the three legs collapses and the other gains power, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be in danger. Neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager can let the Prime Minister's Mansion go if they gain power."
The right minister holds great power, and has long-standing grudges with any party, so the three-legged confrontation is the best guarantee for the prime minister's mansion.
Zhao Zun rubbed Xiao Concubine's head, "Fool, sooner or later the three-legged alliance will collapse. If the prime minister's mansion doesn't change its strategy, it will be annexed sooner or later. Everyone is innocent and guilty, so you have to trust your father-in-law."
Xiao Concubine's heart was always up and down, and Zhao Zun relaxed after a few words of comfort.
Early the next morning, Xiao Concubine woke up and heard the news that Zhen Yan was going to marry the Prince Chen's son as his concubine, she curled her lips into a smile, "The courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist is really admirable."
Concubine Xiao didn't dare to underestimate Zhen Yan anymore, and made people pay close attention to Zhen Yan's every move.
Prime Minister Right has been very busy these past few days, Emperor Dongming has given Prime Minister Right a lot of power, and even handed over some 10,000 elite soldiers from the Kyoto Military Department to Prime Minister Right for full management.
The Right Prime Minister lent 150,000 soldiers to Emperor Dongming, and Emperor Dongming transferred the loan to Prince Dongchu.
Because of this matter, Mrs. Xiao ignored Prime Minister Right for several days, and Prime Minister right did not lose her smile. Once Mrs. Xiao became stubborn, nothing would work.
"Madam, Rong Yue doesn't understand state affairs, but Rong Yue believes that there must be a reason for Xiang Ye to do this. Although Rong Yue is from Xiyue, if you marry a chicken and follow the chicken, you are now a Dong Ming."
Rong Yue forced a smile to say these words, not for anything else, just for the right minister to promise her, take her back to Xiyue to settle accounts with Mrs. Rong in a year, and gave Rong Yue a large amount of jewelry and silver .
Rong Yue was short of money, so he was very spineless, and repeated what the prime minister said to Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was both happy and guilty when she saw Rong Yue's general knowledge, "Rong Yue, don't worry, the prime minister's mansion will be your home in the future, if anyone dares to bully you, ask my wife if she wants to!"
Rong Yue was heartbroken. Ever since she stepped into the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister had never forced her to do anything she didn't like. Mrs. Xiao was even more sincere to her, allowing Rong Yue to regain her long-lost family relationship, and she felt warm in her heart. .
"Yes, Rong Yue will definitely ask the old lady to make the decision as soon as possible."
Only then did Mrs. Xiao give Prime Minister You a good look and rolled her eyes, Prime Minister Right caught it as if in a hurry to please.
When Rong Yue saw this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, she didn't expect that the majestic Prime Minister outside was actually such a filial person.
Mrs. Xiao knew that the relationship between the two was still hazy, so she didn't force the two to get married as soon as possible. The people on the left and right had settled down and couldn't escape, so there was no rush.
A few days later, Prince Chen returned with his family to attend the wedding of Prince Chen's son.
The House of Internal Affairs made a big fuss, but Prince Chen didn't show any joy on his face, instead he was very conflicted, and scolded Prince Chen's son as soon as he returned to the mansion.
Princess Chen tried to persuade her, but she was also scolded unexpectedly.
"My lord, it's understandable for the son to make impulsive mistakes when he is young and energetic, so please calm down."
Concubine Yun Zhe is as beautiful as a flower, and she has always been the most important person in Prince Chen's heart. The Prince Chen's favorite is Lian Yu, the second son of Concubine Yun, the second son of Prince Chen's mansion.
It's good that Concubine Yun didn't persuade her, but this opening provoked the anger that Prince Chen had finally extinguished. Concubine Chen held back, not daring to say more, the more she begged for mercy, the worse the effect was, and it had been like this for so many years.
So I didn't mention it at all, and let the fire burn.
Prince Chen glanced at Concubine Yun, his eyes slightly darkened, "Thank you Concubine for pleading, I have already begged the imperial grandmother for this matter, and the matter has been settled."
up. "
Concubine Yun's face turned pale, and she anxiously explained, "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to add fuel to the picture to provoke you, my lord... this concubine has good intentions."
Concubine Yun's eyes immediately turned red, showing a hint of anxiety and grievance.
Chen Wang slapped the table and angrily shouted at Chen Wang's son, "Presumptuous! How dare you talk, you have committed all mistakes, and you are afraid that others will not be able to say it, so hurry up and apologize to Concubine Yun Zhe!"
Prince Chen cast a cold look at Concubine Yun, while Concubine Yun trembled, and threw herself into Prince Chen's arms, as if frightened by Prince Chen's fierce eyes.
"Brother, this time Concubine Yunmu went on a bumpy journey in order to come back in time for Big Brother's wedding, and she didn't even mention a single word because of her discomfort. Why did Big Brother target Concubine Yunmu?"
Lian Yu looked at Prince Chen displeasedly. He had always looked down on Prince Chen. In his eyes, it was just luck that he was favored by the Queen Mother.
"Yu'er, don't be presumptuous, that's the prince!"
Concubine Yunzai scolded Lian Yu in a low voice with a straight face, and put her other hand on her abdomen to gently rub. Seeing this, Prince Chen said displeasedly, "Yu'er is right, this evil person is used to enjoying life in the capital. I'm afraid I forgot my identity and lost all my face!"
The son of Prince Chen wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Princess Chen, "Cheng'er, apologize to Concubine Yunfang!"
"Mother and concubine?" Chen Wang's son widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Apologize!"
Prince Chen's son almost shook off Princess Chen's hand, but he held back, and was about to speak when he heard Concubine Yun wave her hand, "No way, I'm just a humble concubine, how can I be more noble than the prince, If it reaches the Queen Mother's ears..."
"He dares!" In a fit of anger, Prince Chen slapped Prince Chen's son across the face, directly slapping Prince Chen's son dumbfounded.
"This king warns you, this is the Prince Chen's mansion, and this king will not allow you to make mistakes if he is still alive, and apologize to Concubine Yun!"
Chen Wang seemed very impatient, looking at Chen Wang's son with cold eyes, he couldn't find any concern, obviously they were father and son who had not seen each other for a long time, but when they met, they were very tense.
Moreover, he humiliated Prince Chen in front of so many people, Prince Chen almost couldn't hold back, the corner of his mouth was hot and numb, he held back his breath.
"Concubine Yun, it was my son who offended my concubine for no reason. The concubine was too worried. Closed the door is a family. As the saying goes, a good family should not be publicized. How could this son sue the queen mother?"
Prince Chen looked at Lian Yu again, "Second brother, I have never looked down on your status as a concubine, you and I are brothers, we should resist together, and work together to help father and king achieve great things as soon as possible, don't you think so. "
Lian Yu's complexion changed slightly, the bastard's words seemed to slap him hard on the face, he could clearly see the contemptuous mockery in the eyes of Prince Chen's son.
So what if he's in Dese, isn't he just a shameless and despicable bastard
"Father, the son knows his mistake. The son always remembers that the father is the head of the family in the Chen Palace. The imperial grandmother also reminds the son from time to time. If the situation does not allow it, the person the imperial grandmother most wants to stay in the capital is the father and not the son." Minister, the emperor's grandmother only loves this son as a substitute for the father, and the son never dares to forget his mission."
Prince Chen's son's face was pale, and he was not at all unhappy, as if the slap was not done by Prince Chen, but by someone else.
Concubine Chen was a little distressed for her son, she cast her eyes on Prince Chen, who was clearly calmed down, and felt that Prince Chen's son had really grown up.
After Chen Wang heard this, he finally saw that the son of Chen Wang was more pleasing to the eye, he cleared his throat, "In the future, pay more attention to your behavior, let's forget it this time."
Prince Chen nodded, "My son must remember the teachings of the father. The father just returned to Beijing and should take a short rest. Everything in the yard has been arranged."
